The world is carazier than I thought - parking the wrong way at night time is a bit dangerous as your reflectors aren't of much use. I spent 6 mths in England/Europe many years ago and no-one gave a rats about which way you parked but space is at a premium over there.
The offence details should have been shown on the ticket - what if you'd parked on the street in the same position? My guess is you wouldn't have been booked, but the car would have had a much greater chance of being run into by someone stoned on the way home from the club. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick White Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2002 9:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Parking Fine - nature strip Julian. I think your problem wasn't getting booked for parking on a nature strip,it was for parking on the nature strip too close to a corner. I think the rules state you can not park within 100 metres from a corner either on the road or the verge. The actual distance may be wrong but the rule is right. Any how jst go pay it. You and every one who reads this email will know better next time. P.S I sed to live in a suberb called Como here in Perth a few years ago and we only had one parking bay each. Visitors used to have to park on the verge and I found out a new rule while I was living there. There was a bloke who came past our block of flats every night just to fine us for parking facing the wrong way aswell. Supposably it is illegal to park facing the wrong way up a street. The reason is you have to drive up the street on the wrong side of the road to do this. So not only did you get a parking fine but you also got a fine from the police sent to you a week later. Total cost of thoes two fines was $180.00 and two demettit points. I never did this as I used my private bay but lots of friends got done and so did the neibours friends. Any how bye for now.
